Peninsula Tank

[hubble]

Thinking of getting a peninsula tank in the 5 to 6 foot length. Either the Waterbox or Red Sea would be my choice. Who has one and how do you like it? What would you do differently after the install and or what upgrades would you recommend? I would really like to see them both in person before I make a decision.

They are both good tanks. I build my own, but if I was buying, I'd probably go with the Waterbox and make my own stand.

Where in your house will the peninsula tank go?

Will be between the foyer and living area. What I have to figure out is the light mounting. The ceiling takes a sharp turn up (vaulted ceiling) right where the tank will set. So a light fixture hanging from the ceiling probably isn't going to work. That leaves me with tank mounted fixture (which I don't really like the looks of on a peninsula) or a canopy. I don't think Red Sea or Water Box offer a canopy option.
